Who is J.K. Rowling? How did she become a top selling author? We all know about her books, such as the Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them, but what is her story? She had been through so much trauma, such as her mother’s death, divorce, single parenthood, and rejection twelve times with Harry Potter. She never gave up even in her darkest hours, and that is what inspires me not to give up.
Although the theme of achieving marriage is central in many of her novels, Jane Austen herself never married. Despite her unmarried state, young Austen, according to a neighbor, was a flirt: “the prettiest, silliest, most affected, husband-hunting butterfly she ever remembered” (Collins 110). Throughout her life, Austen had little trouble meeting men; her family was quite gregarious and had many acquaintances. For example, on the night of December 2, 1802, Austen was visiting Hampshire when Harris Bigg-Wither, a brother of Jane’s friend and a relatively wealthy man, proposed to her. Although Austen originally accepted the proposal, she changed her mind that night and left Hampshire abruptly.
Have you heard of the author J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series? Or of Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice in Wonderland? If you have, did you know that J.K. Rowling was a woman?

J.K. Rowling If you have ever seen the movie series Harry Potter then you know that is pure fire. It all started with a writer that goes by JK Rowling some people say that the writer has a kid imagination , but what they don't know is that it takes a kid imagination to be a writer.

That sounds like a dream but really JK Rowling is just her writer/pen name, yes JK is a women, JKs real name is Joanne Rowling.
Emma Watson is not only an incredible leader; she is an amazing inspiration to women, and men of all ages. She is an incredible actress, and activist who spends her time working on professional acting projects, continuing her education and working on different campaigns including HeForShe; which is a campaign that focuses on gender equality. She speaks not only to the press, but to her fans themselves, and it’s a way that she can stay connected to anyone who looks up to her. She is a proud feminist, but in the true meaning of the word and not what it has begun to mean. According to the Oxford Dictionary, feminism is “The advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of the equality of sexes” and for some reason this definition has been shifted
My favorite trait that J.K. Rowling has shown throughout her life is how inspiring she is. When I read her series of books, Harry Potter, I began to love reading! Before J.K. Rowling inspired me with her books, I used to complain every time someone told me to read! Now no one has to tell me to read because I do it in my free time. I believe J.K. Rowling inspired me and many others to want to read more and to appreciate it.
